YMMV / Old Man Henderson

Go To

  • Heartwarming Moments: After Henderson's Last Stand, Henderson and Will basically left everything to Jimmy and Kary in their wills, giving the young couple a head start in life. In response, Jimmy and Kary paid to give Henderson and Will a nice funeral, despite Henderson saying to "throw me in a bag and take me to the dump, no one will care that I lived or that I died." Even WMH was moved.
  • Memetic Badass: He is, after all, the only person in history to win Trail of Cthulhu.
  • Moment of Awesome: Hell On Ice, WHM's favorite Old Man Henderson story, in which Henderson kills Hastur. PERMANENTLY.
  • Never Live It Down: Probably in retaliation for causing the death(s) of his character(s), "Nowhere" revealed that WHM bought St Anger.
  • Signature Scene: Henderson grabbing a shotgun, kicking down the door to the Disciples of the Yellow King's church and bellowing "MUCKLE DAMRED CULTI! 'AIR EH NAMBLIES BE KEEPIN ME WEE MEN!?"
  • Strawman Has a Point: Nowhere gets really upset with WHM when he has Henderson straight up kill his character. However, as WHM points out, said character had walked up to Henderson, admitted he'd been paid to get rid of him, and attacked him in the middle of a crime scene. In-character, Henderson had absolutely no reason not to kill the guy without meta-gaming.
  • Too Cool to Live: Rest in peace, Henderson... Or so we believed: Enter Eli Burning...
